The girls sat across from each other wearing a fake smile but giving each other dirty looks. Star had her cheeks filled with the pancakes and a hand full of bacon "Miss. Diaz, this is really great!"

"You keep eating like that and you're going to get fat" Janna was finishing her cup of apple juice.

Star narrowed her eyes and was about to say something.

"I think the two of you should get some more if you want to grow up and be sexy woman like me" Angie ran her hands up and down her body a few times and then stop to give her mouth watering breast a good squeeze.

Star's face went red at the sight "Wow…"

"Well, I know Marco thinks I'm perfect the way I am" Janna said as she stuck her tongue out at Star.

"YOU GUYS BETTER HURRY UP!?" Marco was putting on his two small black hooped earrings on the right ear in front of the living room mirror.

Star was pulled from the view in front of her "Oh... oh OK…" She downed the rest of her meal quick fast in a hurry.

The front door could be heard being opened and then slammed shut after a short while "Oh… I think we really made him mad" Miss. Diaz smiled and kept drinking her coffee.

Janna and Star jumped out of their seat "Thank for the breakfast Miss. D" Janna was the first out the door.

"Have a nice day Miss. Diaz" Star shut the door behind her and ran up behind Marco.

"That boy is going to have his hands full with those two" Angie knew that the moment she met Star.

Outside

"You guys took your sweet time" Marco was out in front of them.

"Sorry about that, your mom is a great cook" Star was eating the last of her bacon.

"You should try some of Marco's cooking next time" Janna had her fingers interlaced behind her head walking next to Star.

Star was shocked when she heard that "You can cook?"

"Yup, mom taught me how to cook a few years ago. I guess I'm kinda good at it now" Marco didn't want to brag.

Janna gave him a playful kick to the butt "Oh come on, you freaking great at it! But you know what they say" She looked over to Star.

She rocked her head in a no fashion and shrugged her shoulders.

"Never trust a man who knows how to cook for himself. He'll be nothing but trouble till the day he dies" Janna starts to laugh.

Marco smirked "That just means I won't need a woman to take care of me when I get older"

Janna stopped laughing and looked pissed "Oh really now?"

He started to laugh now, he knows Janna won't let him be alone anytime soon. "I wonder if she really did mean the whole thing about getting married?"

"Well, I think it's great he can cook, maybe you could teach me sometime" Star had taken the shot on poking fun on Janna.

The girls started to pull at each other cheeks behind his back, Marco heard the small yelps and turned his head to look at them. They immediately separated and gave him a nervous smile.

"Sure, try not to set anything on fire OK" He turned his head and kept walking to school.

"HEY!? You never offered to teach me how to cook!" Janna was not enjoying having Star around.

"You never asked, now hurry up" He picked up a light jog.

Star looked over to Janna and stuck out her tongue running behind him.

Echo Creek Middle School

Marco's entire persona changed, he lowered his head a little as he put on an angry look on "Star, give me your schedule"

She went into her yellow star shaped purse "Here"

Janna pulled it out her hand and looked at it "Looks like she's in all of our classes"

"Good, we can keep an eye on her and make sure no one starts anything with her" He knew the school would be buzzing soon enough with Star living with him now.

Star stanched her schedule back "I can take care of myself, but thanks for the offer"

"I know you can, but those jocks might show their ugly faces again and I don't want you to do anything to get kicked out" Marco saw a small group of cheerleaders and jocks around the corner.

The school gave Marco a small pass when he would get into a fist fight because of what his father did to him. He would never start a fight but always made sure to end them.

"Awwww thanks Marco" Star didn't need anyone to protect her but was glad to have him if anything did come up.

Janna made a puking face and pointing one finger into her mouth. She didn't like the way he was cozying up to her "We'll be back" She pulled Star into the nearest bathroom.

"Sure but make it quick" He shoved his hands into his pockets.

Bathroom

"What are we doing in here?" Star didn't like being man handle but she let it slide.

"We need to have a talk about Marco, like right now" Janna was staring her down.

"Sure, what's your deal" Star placed her hands on her hips.

"Do you have a thing for my BOYFRIEND?" She put a lot of emphasis on the last word.

"Look… it's nothing like that. I owe Marco a lot… and I think you know the answer to that question already" Star looked at the ground looking back at what happened in the shower.

"I sure do, look… we need to come to an agreement with him. There's still a lot you don't know about him" Marco was Janna's whole world.

Star looked up at her with a determined look "I know that but there's something that just draws me to him… I'm sorry…"

Janna let's go of her anger and slapped Star on the arm "Let's just be there for him and try not to step on each other toes"

"What does that mean?" Star was confused.

"Oh my god new girl, do I need to explain everything? Marco keeps a very small circle of friends… mainly it's just me and him." Janna was looking off to the side.

"IF and I mean IF something happened with you guys… I don't want it to happen behind my back. Marco really loves me just the way I love him, I know he would never go after another girl" She looks back at Star.

"I would never-" Star was getting ready to retaliate.

"SHUT UP… let me finish. I'm willing to let you into our world but you have to listen to my rules or I'll make sure you're gone for good" Janna knew her word was law when it comes to Marco.

"I don't want to take him from you… I don't know what I even want… he just makes me feel safe and happy… just like my father" Star gave a small smile.

"Oh god… don't tell me you have daddy issue… if you do then he loves to be called Papi" Janna started to snicker at her joke.

Star gave a disgusted look "Ewwwww no nothing like that… jeez."

"I'm just kidding Star" She was really enjoying putting her on the spot.

"… That's the first time you said my name" It had taken her by surprise.

"Well, you're going to be around for a while so I guess I should play nice, let's get out of here" That's when they heard a loud bang outside.

Outside The Bathroom

"Sure but make it quick" He shoved his hands into his pockets. He watched the girls run off and made his way to his locker.

"HEY YOU MOTHER FUCKER" One of the jocks from last night yelled at Marco's back and wrapped his hand around his shoulder.

Marco looked behind him and placed his hard around the back of the jock's head and smashed his face into the locker "I don't like to be touched"

He took a few steps back and assumed his fighting stance, some of the members of the football team seen this going down and went after Marco.

Four males started to swing at him with all they had, he was able to dodge them into they backed him into a wall. A larger jock was able to land his foot into Marco's stomach.

The other jock got a punch him on Marco's left cheek removing the band-aid and reopening the gash.

He hunched over in pain but was able to pull up into an uppercut knocking the jock to the ground "… That was… a good one…"

Marco followed up by kicking the one left to the side of the head, shoving the one in the middle and then stomping on the one on the right on the foot. He was able to put some distance between them.

"YOUR GOING TO PAY FOR THAT" The one that was hopping on one foot pulled his fist back ready to knock Marco's lights out. At the last second he moved his head while whipping some blood off his face and the jock made a loud bang hitting the locker.

*BANG*

"Too slow" Marco made a V with his right hand, extending his thumb and pointer finger out and in an upper fashion made contact with the jock's throat.

The jock was on the ground gasping for air as he rolled around.

Janna and Star ran out to Marco after seeing what he done, they saw him slightly hunched over holding his stomach in pain getting ready to hit the ground.

"WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?!" Principal Skeeves ran up to the fight.

The girls were able to place him on their shoulders hold him up, Star pulled out a napkin from her purse and started to clean the blood from his face

"They started it… Sir" Marco was slowly getting his breath back but was in a lot of pain.

"THAT'S NOT TRUE, HE ATTACKED THEM FIRST!? Jackie Lynn Thomas didn't like Marco and would do anything to get him into trouble.

Principal Skeeves looked down at Marco "Go to the nurse's office and then mine immediately. Miss. Butterfly, is there a reason why are you hanging with this hooligan?"

Star was on the offense "The guide you assigned me kicked me out from her home yesterday, I'm living with Marco now and he isn't hooligan!"

Janna smiled "Look at you Butterfly, let's go before this gets worse"

They started to walk away without another word said.

Nurse's Office

They placed Marco on the bed as the girls sat on it with him, Janna replaced the band-aid on his cheek "I told you that you were going to need stitches for that cut, now it's worse than before"

A few weeks ago Marco was at the wrong end of a metal pipe. The poor fucker thought it would be a great idea to sneak up on him, it ended with the assailant's arm being broken in three places.

"Yeah" Marco was pissed, not on how banged up he was. It was more on how Jackie was trying to get him into trouble.

"I think those guys are a lot worse off than you" Star started to laugh as they joined in with her.

"I didn't start that fight… fuck that stupid bitch" He started to sit up.

"Don't worry about that twat, I'll kick her pretty little ass later" Janna points her thumb at herself and smiles.

"That would make my day, I would if I could" He reaches his hand out to Janna's face.

Star was starting to feel left out "Who was that anyway?"

"Don't worry about that Star, I'll tell you later when we hit up Emilio's" He gave her a warming smile.

Her eyes lit up with stars "REALLY?!"

He reached out his other hand to her face "I gotta feed my lil monster before she turns into a gremlin"

Marco was laughing more now, Star didn't understand what he met but enjoyed him touching her. Janna was having an odd feeling in the pit of her stomach watching the way he touched her. It wasn't bad… it was just odd.

"You can leave when you're ready Mr. Diaz" The nurse thought an hour was long enough of him laying around.

"Yes Ma'am, let's see what Principal Skeeves got to say guys" He jumped out of the bed and made his way to the door with the girls behind him.

Principal Office

Jackie, Janna, Marco and Star were in the office sitting across from the Principal.

"After reviewing the footage recorded today I have determined you're not at fault Mr. Diaz, but your actions are inexcusable" Principal Skeeves had a TV playing the fight beside him.

"You will be spending the next two weeks in detention and one month in Saturday school. I have already suspended the other students involved in the fight, your mother aware of the situation as well" Principal Skeeves spoke in a stern tone.

"Yes Sir" Marco squeezed his fists tight but knew there would be repercussions for what happened. Janna and Star were on each of his sides, they placed their hands on his fist to claim him down

"Miss. Tomas, you'll be serving one week of detention for lying to me" He picked up the remote and turned off the TV.

"THAT'S NOT FAIR?! I WATCHED HIM START THE FIGHT!?" Jackie was fuming.

"While that is true Miss. Tomas, Mr. Diaz was not the one to initiate the fight. He was simply defending himself but escalated the situation further" Principal Skeeves just wanted this over and make his way to the ice-cream shop.

"YOU'RE JUST LET HIM OFF WITH A SLAP ON THE WRIST BECAUSE HIS FATHER WAS ONE STEP AWAY FROM RAPING AND TORTURING HIM TO DEATH!?" Jackie was on her feet screaming on the top of her lungs.

Marco tightens his jaw so hard he made his gums bleed, Janna and Star were on their feet ready to whip Jackie off the face of the Earth.

"THAT'S ENOUGH… you're dismissed, now return back to class" The Principal stood up and opened the door.

The children all made their way to the door as Jackie shoved them out of her way and walked away slamming an open locker door shut.

Marco stopped when the Principal shut his door "Let's get out of here…" Before he could put his hands back into his pocket, Janna and Star grabbed them and walked with him out the school.

I'm not sure if I'm any good with the fighting but I tied my best. What do you guys think of the story so far? What do you want to see happen? Not sure where this is really going but I think it's a fun little project.

I think there's a major improvement with my writing style with this story.

Leave a review and tell me what's on your mind.

Thank you
